Insert QT file into Container via script in FM7

in Calculation Engine (Define Fields)

Featured Replies

I'm having no success updating a script that I moved from FM6 to FM7. Previously I used AppleScript to copy and paste a QT track into a container field. Not anymore.

The problem I'm having is that the Insert QuickTime command only seems to open a file locator window - rather than letting me indicate the file path from a field.

So, I'm trying to do this:

Insert QuickTime [clip_location]

and the command won't facilitate that.

Help...

simply set the container field to "movie:" + relative path.

set field [containerfield; "movie:path/to/mymovie.mov"]

You can try the correct syntax by setting a calculation (resulting as text) : readastext(containerfield).

Ignore the size lines, just look at the movie: or moviemac lines.

same with images: image: or imagemac, imagewin, or with files : file;, filemac, filewin.
